last week my deer heads were featured on the lettered cottage as a favorite tutorial for 2010.
this was my first introduction to the lettered cottage and now i am obsessed.
the before and after section is a MUST see, don’t walk…run!
their kitchen transformation is incredible.
it makes me believe that all outdated cabinets are salvageable.
if you have an outdated kitchen, this is such a great solution!
here is the same kitchen before the makeover.
they kept the existing cabinets and countertops.
at first they painted the cabinets black but later painted the upper cabinets white and the base cabinets grey.
go here for step by step instructions on how they painted the cabinets
then they added MDF moulding and trim from home depot to the tops of the cabinets.
go here for a tutorial.
they finished the cabinets off with $10.00 corbels from home depot.
a little glue, one nail, and they were complete!
i just can’t get over how custom the finished kitchen looks.
and don’t you love the open upper cabinets?
they just removed the doors!
i think this is the best diy kitchen makeover i have ever seen.
I agree Danielle, that is an amazing makeover. If I had seen that kitchen at an open house I would have ran out of there. I love the herb boxes on the wall!
Wow, it looks like a completely different house. Since before and afters are my absolute favorite… I am heading over to take a peak now!
That kitchen is pretty amazing… it’s unbelievable what a little added wood work can do to cabinetry! Thanks for sharing!

Wow- amazing is right! What a fabulous transformation and I love those upper cabinets.
I love TLC! It’s one of my favorite blogs – they always give such great ideas. And you’re right – it’s one of the best DIY make overs ever!
No joke, that looks awesome. Congrats again on the feature.
I have the same crappy orangy cabinets in this rental house we are in right now and every time I walk in my kitchen I just want to rip the doors right off and paint them. 😐 That is an absolutely amazing and inspiring before and after. I know that when I get a house I will definitely be doing two tone cabinets.
What a great transformation!
WOW! That is just stunning!
Totally amazing – looks so great!

Looks so good. I am so impressed!
Oh my goodness, what a transformation! That kitchen looks straight out of a magazine! I need to update my kitchen soooo badly!
I know, I know. The Lettered Cottage rocks. I am not a fan of oak cabinets, so I love the swan-like transformation.
